About the author
Vanessa Wester
20 books169 followersVanessa Wester is bilingual in English and Spanish, since she was born and raised in Gibraltar. With a degree in Accountancy & Law, she initially worked for two leading accountancy firms, before she changed career and became a secondary school mathematics teacher. Over the past fourteen years, she has devoted her time to the upbringing of her children, whilst giving up a lot of her time to help voluntary organisations. Now, she is teaching again, but still dreams of pursuing her literary career.
Vanessa developed her writing bug in 2010. Her main published work is ‘THE EVOLUTION TRILOGY’, which is comprised of HYBRID, her debut novel, followed by COMPLICATIONS and RETURN. You can also find out how it all began in the prequel to the Trilogy, EMILY.
In addition, she has written a novelette called FIRST DATE, which is based on her true story. She has also published, and included stories in, six anthologies to raise money for fantastic causes, such as Gurnard Primary School on the Isle of Wight.
Writing is one of her passions, reading the other. The day she decided to start writing her ideas down she found another way to lose herself in a book, whilst finding an outlet for her imagination. It is the best way she can think of to escape from everyday life. She is currently working on a historical fiction novel based on the life of her great, great, grandparents... and is finding the research fascinating!

This collection has some absolute gems in it, all written on a theme of past, present and future. I think this book is the one I've enjoyed reading most from the short stories group, because the standard of writing is so high. My own contribution is 'A stitch is Time.'

Short story collections are always risky. Many are amazing. Some, well, it depends on your tastes and the authors.
This one included one of my favorite authors, so I chanced it. It's meant for young adults, and raises funds for charity. The stories are uneven. Some are excellent. Some are amateurish. Enough were good that I made it through.
